After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 22nd Jul, 2013 (1st) 
I took over the licence at the start of the year and it's great to get that monkey off my back. She hadn't been the luckiest on the flat but this looked a good opportunity for her as she was getting all the allowances. David said she was good and brave at her hurdles . she's always schooled well. She finished out her race well having been a bit keen early on. This was lucky track for my father so thankfully it's continued for me.
